Lincoln County 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

Lincoln County Regional Planning Commission (LCRPC), in collaboration with Lincoln County Emergency Management Agency (LNEMA), are requesting public comment on the 2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan update. The public comment period is open through October 10th, 2025.

 

Every five years, municipalities identify infrastructure and education projects that will mitigate against natural disasters relevant to their area. A detailed risk assessment is performed to inform which disasters are present in an area and assess the costs and probability of disasters. 

 

Participation in, and adoption of, the Plan by the County and municipalities and formal approval by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allow additional federal funding opportunities for hazard mitigation planning and projects. 

 

The Plan is available for review and public comment via the LNEMA website and the LCRPC website with a survey to submit comments. The Plan will be submitted to the Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and FEMA for final review and approvals.
